Some bugs

This game is fantastic. I bought it when it first came out. However, there are something's that need improving. Playing on the iPad mini, I've noticed that the pulse is is ahead of the music, just enough to be a problem. You can't tap to the music because the pulse simply isn't with the music.
One other thing playing on the iPad mini, sometimes the dots are so close together you tap two or three at once unintentionally. If you could make touching the dots more accurate, or find another solution to this problem, that would give you 5 stars.

Excellent rhythm game!

Having just required my first iPad, I spent too many years not getting a chance to play this game. Cipher Prime has previously impressed me with Auditorium (not so much with Splice), but Pulse may now be my favorite game of theirs. Intuitive, approachable, challenging, beautiful visual design, and, of course, a killer soundtrack, just like all of their games.

The music ranges from mellow orchestral and acoustic tunes to frenzied electronic dance tracks. There are also some internationally flavored songs as well, and several dubstep tracks. For the music nerds, I really liked that the time signatures ranged from swaying 3/4 waltzes to rolling 6/8 rhythms to over-caffeinated, 120bps+ blasts.

Amazing - beautiful - fun!!!

I got this game over seven years ago, and when I got a new ipad, I I didn’t upload it. Now I’ve rediscovered it with my eight-year-old daughter and we are obsessed. Not only is if fun an mesmerizing, I also happen to believe it has cognitive benefits, and I wish these developers would continue to develop (and market) games like this that could be used in educational settings, or therapeutically. Rhythm, color, and music, and light are powerful, and this game is legitimately beautiful and musical — actual music is at his heart, not some tinny soundtrack. More, please!!!
